Picked up the Darth Maul Returns pack for under $10 at Target. One store sold out of them, the other had 3 left...not gonna make it to 75% off. I don't regret getting it sooner, it's an okay pack but every reason i passed it by was valid. Maul's less than stellar upper body articulation is irritating. I keep wanting to turn him at the waist and the wrists. Opress's lack of ankles hurts, too.

Night Sister is good for what she is.

It's telling how less popular the show is that these hit 50% off. One out of town Target I went to last weekend had nearly a dozen left.

I am holding fast on waiting for 70% off or better on those before I load up. There is a Target near me that has easily 20 of these BP's at least. They do not seem to be moving either, just have to bide my time.

And I did buy two already at more or less regular price, so no guilty feelings about not supporting the line and all.

One of the best things in January is playing the Target clearance game. "How long will this last, and how far will it go down?" I have spent a TON at Target in the past week or two. I have toys for my son all the way through next Christmas.

My patience finally paid off...the Darth Maul Returns BP's have officially hit 70% at seemingly all the Targets around here. I bought four more yesterday @ $5.98 a pop, which cleaned out most of the stores around here that only had 1 left, but there is still one store I know with a good 15-20 of these at least. I'm seriously considering buying all of them. It's a great set, and $2 a figure is sort of my "all-in" threshold. These would make for some nice customizing fodder, considering we may never get a proper Mother Talzin, Nightsister, Spider-Legs Maul, one-armed Oppress with 2 trimmed horns, Maul with Mando-robo-legs, etc etc.

Good toy karma at Ross this week...today I picked up the TCW Attack Recon Fighter Class I set. There was no price tag on it, so I figured I would take my chances and when the girl looked it up at the register, she came back with $4.99. Hell yes! I am pretty sure this was supposed to be $7.99 like the Sub set I picked up earlier in the week but who am I to argue?

Took advantage of the TRU $4.99 TCW + BOGOHO sale to snag another Commander Cody and Aqua Droid for $3.75 each, not too shabby. I needed Cody for a custom project and the Aqua Droid is just about my favorite figure ever from this line, so no problems army building that guy.
